GLEN BURNIE, Md. —

The 11 News I-Team has learned that federal authorities are taking a lead role in the investigation into multiple explosive devices found in a Glen Burnie home on Friday.

According to police charging documents, if the material found inside the home detonated, it could have also hurt people and damaged property on either side.

Federal and Anne Arundel County officials foiled what appeared to be a clandestine bomb-making lab in the living room of a home in the 900 block of Edgerly Road.

Several neighbors declined to discuss what they witnessed or what they knew about the people who lived in the home out of fear for their personal safety.

Wheeler inadvertently tipped off authorities after seeking treatment at the Baltimore Washington Medical Center the day before the raid for injuries caused in part by chemicals, police said.

Armed with a search warrant, investigators found multiple explosive-making materials, including powders, canisters, chemicals and tools that they believe could be used in the manufacture of explosives, according to a source associated with the investigation (story continues below).

Specialists with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said they collected multiple devices in varying degrees of assembly.

Police charging documents indicate specialists also discovered improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. One of them was sealed at one end and consisted of a 37 mm round containing explosive material and a fuse.

Another IED was made out of a cardboard tube, sealed on one end with a cap, police said. Police describe it as a tube filled with a white explosive material with a green hobby fuse stuck out of the other end.

No one answered the door to Wheeler's home on Monday. A public records search indicates the property is in his name and that whoever bought the home paid $133,000 cash in Nov. 2010.

Neighbors believe Wheeler is a member or has ties to a prison gang known as Dead Man Inc. Federal officials could not confirm that, nor have they uncovered a motive.

Police arrested Wheeler on four counts related to making and possessing explosive materials, reckless endangerment, and possession of drug paraphernalia. More state charges are pending, and officials said Wheeler could also face federal charges.

Wheeler's criminal history includes arrests for intimidating a witness, influencing a jury member in 2011 and the possession of an electronic weapon in 2012.
